Are broken bones, loneliness and poor sleep really hidden killers?
Conclusion As the researchers say, the WHO definition of health encompasses physical, mental and social wellbeing – not just the presence or absence of disease. But how often are these extra dimensions taken into account when assessing a person's health status? In this sample of older adults, just looking at their disease status puts the majority of them into an apparently "robust" health group. Yet when you consider the additional dimensions of psychological health and wellbeing, you seem to get a much better indication of those who were at higher or lower risk of dying or being incapacitated in the coming...

Vitamin D Deficiency Is As Dangerous As Smoking
The advice you’re getting from your doctor, the TV and even the Surgeon General is so wrong, it’s scary. They’re all busy telling you to stay out of the sun. But Swedish researchers recently discovered that nonsmokers who avoid the sun have a life expectancy similar to smokers who spend a lot of time in the sun. Staying out of the sun is as dangerous as smoking.1 It doesn’t surprise me. I tell all my patients sunlight exposure is essential to our health because it is the best source of vitamin D… possibly the most important nutrient we know of. Mainstream medicine still doesn’t recognize th...

How hand osteoarthritis, comorbidity and pain interact to determine functional limitation in older people: Observations from the eposa study
Conclusions. Study results have demonstrated that although comorbidity was decidedly and independently associated with hand functional limitation, it has no effect on the hand OA‐physical function relationship. Hand OA was found to be associated with self‐reported as well as with performance‐based physical function impairment; the association was found to be partially mediated by pain, which reduces its impact.

The Call for a Physical Activity Vital Sign in Clinical Practice
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the most common shared occupational health risk is sedentary behavior. Physical inactivity increases the relative risk of coronary artery disease, stroke, hypertension and osteoporosis by 45%, 60%, 30%, and 59% respectively.1 Epidemiologic data suggest that physical inactivity is associated with an increased risk of 25 chronic diseases.2 Due to the fact that approximately 90% of American adults do not meet current physical activity guidelines,5 deaths attributable to physical inactivity may soon exceed those attributed to cigarette smoking,3,4 For these reasons, physical inactiv...

Unusual association between lysinuric protein intolerance and moyamoya vasculopathy.
CONCLUSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an association between moyamoya vasculopathy and LPI. While the question of association or coincidence cannot yet be answered, several pathophysiological consequences of LPI can be defined as separate, such as links between the impact of low arginine levels on the function of vascular endothelium and brain nitric oxide metabolism, as well as hemophagocytic syndrome associated with the risk of vasculitis, thus accounting for the development of moyamoya vasculopathy.

How Exercise Shapes You, Far Beyond the Gym
(Photo: Grady Reese) By Bradley Stulberg When I first started training for marathons a little over ten years ago, my coach told me something I've never forgotten: that I would need to learn how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. I didn't know it at the time, but that skill, cultivated through running, would help me as much, if not more, off the road as it would on it. It's not just me, and it's not just running. Ask anyone whose day regularly includes a hard bike ride, sprints in the pool, a complex problem on the climbing wall, or a progressive powerlifting circuit, and they'll likely tell you the same: A diff...

Compression of Morbidity Is Observed Across Cohorts with Exceptional Longevity
ConclusionThe similar extension of health span and compression of morbidity seen in NECS and LGP participants with exceptional longevity further validates the utility of these rare individuals for the study of factors that delay or prevent a broad spectrum of diseases otherwise associated with mortality and disability.

Patterns and consequences of multimorbidity in the general population: There is no chronic disease management without rheumatic disease management
Conclusion: Our study emphasizes RMDs as a major presence in multimorbidity in the general population. All multimorbidity patterns were associated with a wide set of adverse health outcomes. Management strategies for the patient with chronic cardiometabolic, respiratory or depressive conditions should also target RMDs. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
